I'm a top 500 legend player (although because of the luck factor discussed later in this post I've gone 10-45 in my last 55 ranked ladder games and am currently rank 3370 legend). I'm CONVINCED my account has been tagged for negative-RNG or whatever you want to call it.

This is literally impossible. I play poker for a living. I completely understand variance.

I dare someone to come spectate. You'll watch 2 and your mind will be blown. Or, the fact that you're watching will change the settings on my account and I'll win the first game and be 1-60.

Either way, it's a win for me. 

I should state that I'm OK with all of this. I know my account has something funky with it's RNG settings happening, so how can I get mad?

 its a common practice in gaming matchmaking algorithms to prefer the player with lower engagement level, 
the workaround is to logout and stay out few days. this will lower your engagement score and improve your RNG till next time. this applies to pack opening as well, not just game RNG.

awesome, well done.

There is a good youtube guide how to improve HS performance, look for:

How to Reduce Lag and Stuttering FPS in Hearthstone (Desktop Version)

you can get the dust (1600 for golden) -  but not full refund like in nerf/HOF situation.

coreset is free for all for 1 year,  (but you cant get dust for those cards) and can be used in standard and wild 

also - you  keep the copy of all cards you had before (std set)  and can get dust on those,

by doping this  you will not be able to use them in wild.

compare this with the 2 mana tower.. what a difference.

the tower has guaranteed impact (1 mana disruption for the next draw of opponent) and much better stats so hard to remove it.
so why anyone will prefer the caravan over the tower?

Nerfing Pen Flinger, Apexis Blast or Tickatus have no sense at all.

 Flinger will probably see nerf in upcoming patch (card is played too much..),
Tikatus maybe in future patch but not now, and blast ofcourse will not.

The secret weapon and Flinger will see nerf for sure, this alosne will lower the power level of librams.

the weapon nerf might make the entire secret package (including the 3/4 that draws) not good,
as a result Libram synergy will decrease because there is no card cycle.

I dont think they will nerf Librams directly, without card draw the Librams becomes insufficient.

and dark-glare as well.

Flinger: cant hit face

sword-of-the-fallen: 1/2 instead of 1/3

incanters-flow: 3 mana (or cant reduce cost of spells to zero)

Jandice barov: 6 mana (or summon 4 mana minions)

Deck Luncay: transform spells into 2 mana more instead of 3 (this is sufficient along the incanters-flow change)

We will have big meta change today as patch 20.0 activates,
so many un-nerf cards is a good chance to build new good decks.
- I think that Secret mage will keep to be the strongest "default" deck as its very simple to play and very efficient in terms of dust and win rates,you can tech 1 mana flare now if you play hunter (just check for counter spell..)

- Big Priest and Highlander decks (Priest,Warlock) will suffer from 3 mana Albatross,
- Aggro decks gets boost from unnerfs (as Reno is countered ow with the bird),and many aggro cards got buff.

- Rogue (and warrior) is losing nitro-boost Poison (nerf to 2 mana)

I think that there is another reason,

Rogue with the broken card draw and bounce and combo and mana cheat mechanics tend to play big combos every turn which leads to many "rope" turns, this is very frustrating to play against , you feel that you just watch your opponent plays the game and so many cards every turn ("hey looser")  so this becomes very disturbing.

The class is currently is OP and dominates the meta, you can check tournaments stats and verify that Rogue is busted.

seems good to me, worth the mana if you have board and maybe recruit cards like call to arms
4 mana mist caller that buff the board is very good

Kinda OP for Druid.

 Guardian Animals is better i think.

+ No real deck restriction since it always draws the highest cost spell.

you will need to include several big spells since you need those in the deck by turn 8.
Also the fact it draws the biggest spell reduce the efficiency of the second Protector that you will play.
